The Center for Philosophy and Ethics of Science (ZEWW), University of Hannover,
Germany, invites applications for a 1-year:

Postdoctoral position in philosophy of biology.

The position may be filled on May 1st, 2006, or later. The salary will be at the
level of a German research assistant ('wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter', BAT
IIa).

The principal task of the postdoc, next to teaching on a topic of his/her own
interest within the philosophy of biology, will be to formulate a research
proposal that is to be submitted to a research founding organization.
Continuation of the position will be dependent on this proposal. The successful
applicant will have a formal education in both biology (or another natural
science) and philosophy, e.g., a Bachelor's or Master's degree in one of these
fields and a Ph.D. in the other. We would also consider an exceptional graduate
student who is in the process of completing a doctoral dissertation.

The University of Hannover is an equal opportunity / affirmative action
employer.

Applications should include a CV, list of publications, one sample of written
work and a short description of the planned research project (no more than 2
pages). Applications should be sent to
